Stainless steel flakes

Outline

Excellent weather resistance and a strong rust-proofing effect

We utilize our flaking technologies to produce flakes of high quality stainless steel (SUS316L) to create highly functional pigments that are tough and highly resistant to chemicals. The flakes are thin so that they align easily in the coating film.

Features

・Coating containing stainless steel flakes has high weather resistance, salt water resistance and chemical resistance. It protects the coated item from corrosion factors and prevents deterioration over time.
Application examples are such as structures along the coast where corrosion is severe, FRP water storage tanks, structures by hot spring source and pool, etc.

・The inclusion of stainless steel flakes makes it possible to increase the coating film hardness to about 2H. Furthermore, increased hardness provides abrasion resistance as well as addition of sliding properties without use of oil.
Application examples are such as structures, bolts, screws, etc.

・Since the deep color tone unique to stainless steel flakes is well accepted by customers for exterior use, the product is applied onto exterior wall of buildings.
